Obama: Botched Execution 'Deeply Troubling'
http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/lethal-injection/obama-botched-execution-deeply-troubling-n95746

President Barack Obama said Friday that a botched execution this week in Oklahoma is "deeply troubling" and highlights "significant questions about how the death penalty is being applied" in the United States.

Citing "significant problems," including the problems with lethal injection, racial bias and uneven application of the death penalty, Obama said he plans to discuss these issues with Attorney General Eric Holder.

He also reaffirmed that he believes that in the case of some "heinous" crimes, "the application of the death penalty may be appropriate."

Inmate Clayton Lockett died 43 minutes after his execution began Tuesday night and was described by witnesses as writhing in pain due to a problem with one of his veins. Lockett was convicted of shooting a teenager and burying her while she was still alive.

Earlier this week, press secretary Jay Carney said that the Oklahoma execution fell short of “humane” standards.

“He has long said that while the evidence suggests that the death penalty does little to deter crime, he believes there are some crimes that are so heinous that the death penalty is merited," Carney said of the president.

Compassion for killers. Give me a freaking break!

Could have been Obama's son.

The purpose of an execution is to kill. The piece of shit that buried a woman alive died. The execution was a success.

Only to a liberal would this be deeply troubling. You barbaric fucks murder your own unborn species.

Interesting map---the red areas are where the death penalty is legal:

Oh, look! It's one of those asswipe CULT OF THE FETUS fucktards!

"Richard Dieter, executive director of non-profit Death Penalty Information Center, a clearinghouse for information and an opponent of executions, said Lockett's manner of death would add momentum to efforts to halt lethal injection until the process is better understood and there is more transparency to what states are trying to do.

"Somebody died because of the state's incompetency," Dieter says, adding that Louisiana, Kentucky and Ohio are considering similar protocols. "I think they're going to have second thoughts and those executions will be delayed."


"Somebody died because of the states incompetency" ??? He was executed he died.

What a lib asshole. God interveaned and made him suffer and when he died he went stright to Hell and will suffer there forever.

Raped shot Buried alive a young innocent girl.. What is wrong with the minds of liberals to cry over this killer with no remorse or heart. Not a word for her . Just tears for this sack of shit.

I thought your religion taught "hate sin, love the sinner". But that's ok, I'd prefer to go back to Deuteronomy. The next time my asshole neighbor cuts his grass at 9:00 on Sunday morning, I'll stone him to death. I like that part about debts being released in the 7th year too. Hello Amex.....

Isn't the point of an execution, uh, to kill the person? Whats the big deal? Are people angry because we as a nation spend more money on killing other people by order of magnitude more than anyone else, or our or life SAVING programs?

He would rather we drone the convicts, and their families.

The Colbert-watching libtards who love Muslims but battle imaginary xtian fundamentalist straw men whenever someone mentions their faith are the best.

Theres a difference between an individual committing a crime and the state carrying out an execution. They're not really comparable. The issue isnt whether he deserved it or not. Everyone agrees he deserved much worse.

Just so you hear that at least one time in case it triggers some magic in your brain somehow.

See, its sort of like you not wanting to fund Sandra Flukes birth control with your tax dollars.

We dont want the state torturing people and we dont want the state violating the Constitution with our tax dollars.


Hopefully some of that registers. I tried to use a comparison that you could understand.

So does this mean you are anti-fetus, Gerry? What kind of twisted psychopath hates fetuses? How do you think you got here, dumb ass? I'm not even anti-abortion but for fuck's sake I'm not anti-fetus, either. You are a sick fuck, Gerry.

Sounds like the process is working great, let's get some more of them on death row. That'll save the tax payers millions, and the fear of a painful death will serve as a deterrent.

I believe it's a detergent. I've heard intelligent arguments that it's not. But I don't really care. I believe in the death penalty strictly for the punitive effect.

A detergent is something to wash your clothes with. I think you meant "Deterrent". LOL
Attachments:

Its a detergent they say. What do you have to prove that? Maybe some people kill because they know they can get the death penalty and not serve life? How do you know the latter is not the greater detergent?

How do you know death is more of a detergent than life in prison? Deterrent that is lol.

This has got to be one of the stupider threads yet.

Oh no the terrible convict died a terrible death. My response? Good.

This will effect all lethal injection executions. So good old Virginia will bring back "Old Sparky" as the only method of execution. Nothing as scary as that chair with a shadow over it in "The Death Chamber" as the murderers go to sit down. And when they strap the leather "Death Mask" over their face and adjust the electrode helmet, they know any second now.. breathing heavy shitting their pants in fear the switch will be thrown. And .. the quick sight of the black hooded executioner..The rape murderer thinks.. their eyes.. Those are the eyes of A WOMAN !

That is what they deserve, its called capitol punishment
